The Washington Post reports that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a 2,000 page report finding that "'it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant
cause' of global warming since 1950 and warned of more rapid ice melt
and rising seas if governments do not aggressively act to reduce the
pace of greenhouse gas emissions." I found these two paragraphs instructive on the state of debate over climate change:Scientists arrived at their conclusions by drawing on more than 9,000
publications. They considered more than 54,000 comments from about
1,050 people in 52 nations.

Yet the summary did little to dissuade
a small but forceful chorus of scholars who deny that humans cause
significant global warming or that Earth is suffering from warming
effects.
